In this sample alarm, input 1 on camera 12 is the specific input that will
trigger the alarm. The alarm input, for example, could be a motion
detector that triggers an alarm when it senses motion. When this alarm is
triggered, Quick View 96 on camera 7 appears on the monitor. In
addition, output 3 on the same camera initiates automatically. The output
might be, for example, a light that turns on when the alarm is triggered.
